MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis Grizzlies guard Scotty Pippen Jr. will have a procedure to fix an issue in his left big toe that will keep him out to start the season.

The Grizzlies announced Saturday that a timeline for Pippen’s return will be provided after he has a sesamoidectomy to deal with what they called “ongoing discomfort.” Pippen is expected to make a full recovery.
